Another great line/delivery in that scene: "We used to have swamps, only the EPA made us take to calling them wetlands."

I've never noticed that! That's brilliant.
Oh, and in the Dan Harmon interview this week, he mentioned that he wants to do a "Bad Blood"/Rashomon-style episode of "Community. I hope he does it.
Half a bagel, light cream cheese
More credit is due to the acting of Duchovny and Anderson in this episode. The acting really is outstanding in this episode.

They have the internet in Tennessee? Indoor plumbing must be next! Hahaha!

I know nothing about DID other than from what I've taken in through pop culture. I wonder how common it is for one of alters to be a real person from the individual's past.

The ponytail caught in the soft serve machine is real horror to me. It's one of those scenarios my mind involuntarily imagines, like falling off an interstate overpass and splattering like a watermelon in front of a semi truck (an image that popped into my head while cycling over an overpass today).
I was half paying attention
Who stole the twenty from Maw Maw's purse?
But even with that plan, the show had a few contradictions within those season.

This episode of TXF is pretty bad. I wouldn't call Carter lackadaisical by allowing it on the air, though. The first TXF movie was in post-production. Millennium was on the air. He had written a few TXF episodes and directed one by this point in the season. He was probably overworked and didn't have a good system…
Land of beavers
Both times Tara/YWNW cut herself in this episode (the first being with the knife while cooking) was when Max was playing a song. Was Tara's suicide attempt in college from cutting? It know seems that YWNW was the one carrying that out.
Wonderfalls
Backwards complement
I liked the episode if only for the reason that Jim and Pam both had something to do.
NBC programming genuises
Someone on Twitter noted Paul Reiser will be on Leno tonight. Awkward.
Great write up
I live alone right now and I have the opposite experience from Zack (though depending on one's view of after-death, it could possibly be the same). Sometimes I wake up when it's silent and dark and I think I'm the only person left on earth. I had the same feeling on an unusually quiet day after I had…
Pro*bosco*pedia (proboscis-foot), one of the Hox genes. O'Hurley shows Mulder and Scully an image depicting the mutation in the fruit fly.
Why Australia?
Afternoon talk shows and tabloid TV
Todd's points about the condescending portrayal of middle America in the episode are interesting. I hadn't thought much about it, but maybe I'm used to seeing that because I'm from the South and according to most popular culture, we are all stupid hicks.
Yes, I know this is a long comment. Suck it.
1.) I watched The X-Files during the original run when I was a teenager. I was rarely frightened by it outside of the watching experience. Of all the monsters and alien stories, "Detour"was one of two episodes that actually stuck with me and scared me after the tv was…
